This poem speaks to me very clearly and directly and helped reset the coordinates of my internal navigation machinery this Monday morning. I brought a copy to my rendez-vous with The Cloud and his chums at the romantically named Merion Cricket Club. Having the poem with me, while being informed that People + Process = Profits, reminded me a little of that Frank O’Hara poem, A Step Away From Them.

A word of special thanks: Beyond The Pale has completely cured me of a bad early morning television habit, which simply left me enervated. Now mornings are silent again (before the 7 am dog walk) and a little more lucid, which I attribute to the poetry and the always entertaining and enlightening commentary of the host and participants.
